PS5 Sales Pass 54.7 Milion Units, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Has Sold 10 Million Copies

Sony just released its financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year, alongside an update on PS5 shipments and more details about its gaming business.

Seen that colteastwood guy just today said Spiderman 2 barely broke even. Idk about that guy 10 mill sold sounds like alot more then breaking even.

[blackblades]

Culteastwood is a joke and a embarrassment to the gaming community

[ocelot07]

I only learned about this colt guy since the Xbox leaks last week. He just seems like a nutcase barefaced liar.

Loving the stupid mem that people keep posting about him thought.

[Demetrius]

Lmfao

[blackblades]

I learned about him before this gen started. He wason xdealer podcast I random listened to a couple times all of them was *****. Then i started seeing him in my Twitter feed randomly and we mix words with each other he was so toxic. I blocked him on it but still see his post because people keep bringing screenshots of his posts up.

[TheColbertinator]

Nobody sane listens to ColtEastwood on anything. I have been gaming on Xbox since the launch year 2001 and not once has he offered anything positive to the gaming industry or even to Xbox. He thrives on overhype and buzzwords.

[DarXyde]

Colt is a joke. He's literally a gun nut who happens to be a singer, who saw an avenue to grow his following through bashing PlayStation and giving fawning praise to Xbox. A useful idiot, if you will.

Willing to bet he likes Xbox and is useful to Microsoft in the same way Dave Ruben likes conservatism and is useful to Dennis Prager.

[gold_drake]

yeh i mean, thats what, 700 mio moneys? not even considering inflation and conversion in other countries ha.

[The_Hooligan]

Also, can't forget the deluxe edition and the collectors edition which cost more than $70. Regardless of what the revenue was, the game is profitable unlike some of the bozos on this site were saying. So, with the cost of $300mill with Sony selling 10 mill copies, the game is profitable. Of course ppl with the knowledge of how revenue and profit are two different things, already knew that.

[EvertonFC]

I think from the leaked documents Spiderman made about 50 million from physical sales but roughly 400m from digital sales.
Something like that can't remember the full story.
It's literally why they want to go all digital because the money is shit loads more than physical sales.

[shinoff2183]

Idk about all digital 40 percent of sales being physical is still impressively high considering so many games that release with no physical . I have a hard time believing only 50 mill was made off Spiderman 1 if 400 mill was digital.

[YourMommySpoils]

Looks like that colteastwood disliked your post lol

[RGB]

He's the guy in 2022 saying Xbox Series consoles were outpacing PS5. LOL

PS5 in Summer 2022 had more consoles sold than Xbox Series today.

Xbox Series X|S is at 22.3 million thanks to TakeTwo and Sony quarterly reports!

[RGB]

It's worse, Sony is reporting 54.8 million (up 100k from this source), so Xbox Series X|S = 22.2 million.
Furthermore, thanks to TakeTwo & Sony's Q4 reports, 2023 totals are;
PlayStation 5 = 24.8 Million
Xbox Series X|S = 3.2 Million

PS5 > XSX|S = 7.75:1 Globally! No wonder Microsoft is throwing in the towel.

[darthv72]

And because it was only available to PS5... 10m sold to a base of 54m is pretty good.

[Einhander1972]

Don't point out that Starfield had twice the development time and sold less than 3m and the vast majority of those sales were on Steam not xbox.

[Father__Merrin]

Colteastwood is a disgrace hes one of them annoying old school xbox 360 fanboys that hasnt changed his ways. cant wait to see him squirm tomorrow evening

[helicoptergirl]

Amazing attach rate for Spidey 2. That's like 1 in 5, as it was only available on PS5 obviously. Good stuff.

[repsahj]

Wow! 20% is an impressive number!

[__y2jb]

Sony are doing amazing numbers while putting in the absolute minimum of effort. If only the Xbox team were competent we’d be seeing more games and more innovation across the board.

[Eonjay]

I think you are being too harsh on both companies here. Sony is working on several new IP and Microsoft is compotent, they are just clearly very risk adverse... but I am sure they are working on new IP too.

[Einhander1972]

Microsoft is not competent, they just have a lot of money.

If xbox wasn't completely subsidized and had to exist on it's own profits it would have failed already. And they certainly wouldn't have been able to get game pass off the ground and spend a hundred billion buying publishers.

[Crows90]

Making good games isn't risky...MS has only one excuse .. incompetence

[boing1]

Minimum of effort??

[badz149]

did you somehow mistaken Sony for Nintendo??

[Travesty]

It took the original Spider-Man almost a year to sell 13.2 million units. So that being said Spider-Man 2 sold 10 million since October is pretty impressive.

[Profchaos]

In saying that sm1 launched in a packed window at the same time I recall red dead redemption 2 and the Spyro trilogy launching at the same time.

[Travesty]

But the orginal also came to PC. Not saying that is sold astronomical on PC but SM2 has just sold 10 million on one platform.
I’m not sure other games coming out close to SpiderMan caused it to sell slower, even a great game as RDR is.

[Workshyskiver]

The bigger news is that Sony say they won't be releasing any new existing IP games until March 2025.

[purple101]

the they got concord which is 1st party, but new ip.

id quite like some new ip not just sequels.

[EvertonFC]

NOT exactly gonna shit out AAA games with some of the Devs only releasing there current IP a year or 2 ago.
It takes 5 years to make these games, it's not rocket science.

[NotoriousWhiz]

Still have wolverine to look forward to.

[jznrpg]

They said no new existing IP meaning sequels

[repsahj]

Damn! Spider-Man 2 reached 10m copies already?!

[RGB]

YIKES, so it was even worse than anyone expected for Xbox, I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, in actuality;
PS5 = 54.7 million
XSX|S = 22.3 million

[Cockney]

If you take the USA out of the equation which i'm guessing is generally a 50/50 split, the rest of the worlds numbers are eye opening

[RGB]

Not really, Xbox has only won a single NPD all generation, my guess is PS5 is over 20 million in America now, and Xbox is at best 15 million. Close but not 50/50 split.
Europe is essentially 80/20, Asia is 90/10.
2023 sales are 8:1 in PS5's favour.

[purple101]

It’s actually worse than this, because in the first few years, we console all the early adopters and hardcore crowd get them

PS5 I expect will pull further and further away after the initial wave is accounted for

Exponentially pull away

[Hereandthere]

Spiderman 2 by itself sold more than any xbox 1st party title combined, not counting pc. pc players still buy their games for the most part. Phil spencer trained his xbox players to not buy games and wait for them to come to game pass.

[Ironmike]

It's not great sane crimes repeated over and over traversal was awesome story good but the open world stuff is boring asf

[repsahj]

Will series X/S beat GameCube lifetime sales? At least they already beat WiiU.

[Solitariussaint]

PlayStation rules supreme. Congrats to the players and bring on the PSVR2 games!

[anast]

They did this without selling broken toasters and KFC controllers.

[Demetrius]

2nd next gen title they deserve those sales and more that's what happens when you put quality out unlike those Gaas titles

[Profchaos]

Interesting that the ps5 appears to be tracking significantly above the PS4 total sales at the same point in its lifecycle around 13 million or so rough ballpark.

Not to run salt in the wounds but it sounds like there's been more people moving away from Xbox hardware this generation and or not getting both consoles as they would have done prior as there's less of a point to owning both
